Securing Operations Without Sacrificing Uptime

Written by Eleen Meleng | Aug 4, 2026, 2:58:35 AM

 Jon David Frilles of Kenvue sits down with Corinium's Eleen Meleng to discuss securing operations without sacrificing uptime 

 In manufacturing, every minute of downtime comes at a cost. While cybersecurity teams are under pressure to strengthen defences and embrace AI, operations teams are focused on keeping production running safely and efficiently. David Frilles, Regional Lead – Network Services at Kenvue, shares why the future of cyber resilience isn't about deploying more security tools, but understanding the realities of operational environments. In this interview, he discusses bridging the divide between IT and OT, protecting critical operations without disrupting them, and why organisations should focus on getting the fundamentals right before chasing the latest AI-driven innovations. 

 

Topics covered in the conversation include:

  • Why applying traditional IT security approaches to operational technology can create unintended operational risks
  • Understanding the "uptime anxiety" that shapes security decisions in manufacturing and industrial environments
  • Building resilient IT and OT architectures that strengthen security while keeping critical operations running
  • Why segmentation, visibility, and architectural discipline matter more than the latest AI tools
  • Practical lessons for cyber leaders balancing operational resilience, business priorities, and digital transformation
